Overview

About the Calculator

The ClearCalcs Masonry Gravity Wall (ASD) Calculator enables the fast design and analysis of both partially- and fully-grouted reinforced masonry walls in gravity and out of plane shear and bending per TMS 402/602-16 (formerly also designated as ACI 530, ACI 530.1, ASCE 5 and ASCE 6). The calculator provides fast results and an interaction graph for combined axial capacity and bending capacity.

Masonry gravity wall calculator to tms 402/602-16

Easily design and analyze both partially- and fully-grouted reinforced masonry walls to the TMS 402/602-16 Building Code Requirements and Specification for Masonry Structures.

Easily input design parameters for your wood shear wall design

Easily input the design parameters for your Wood Shear Wall such as stud size and grade, stud spacing, the total wall length, the story height, and the location of your wall openings with ClearCalcs clean and easy-to-use interface.

Account for typical loads and load combinations for gravity wall design

Loads Input Automatically Considers Default Load Eccentricity and Include Axial, Shear & Moment Loads as well as Self-Weight

Checks for axial capacity at a glance with out of plane bending + axial interaction diagram

Get fast results and check for capacity at a glance with an interactive graph for combined axial capacity and bending capacity.

Checks and references to relevant codes and standards at a click of a button

Easily find the appropriate standards reference, clause, and description (reasoning) that was used for your Masonry Gravity Wall calculation or formula if you are unsure or want more information.

Why ClearCalcs?

Frustration to Flow

See how ClearCalcs transforms structural calculations from a tedious, error-prone chore into an efficient, stress-free process.

With spreadsheets and clunky software

Frustration, fuss, and fragile formulas—the old way of engineering calculations that holds you back

Struggle with endless spreadsheets and custom formulas.

Building codes change, but outdated software and spreadsheets don’t.

Triple-check and verify manual input at every turn.

Old software feels like a maze, with unclear settings, limited templates, and rigid interfaces.

With ClearCalcs

Effortless, efficient engineering calculations at your fingertips.

100+ pre-built calculators for different materials.

Every calculation comply with the latest codes and standards.

Forget the worry of “black box” calculations; verify calculators with inline formulas, codes, and checks.

Intuitive tools built to your workflow, plus unmatched customer support.

How It Works

Your code-compliant calculator

Tired of complex calculations? ClearCalcs Calculator Library keeps it simple, secure and code-compliant – so you can calculate with confidence.

Save time with ready-to-use templates for wood, steel, and concrete

ClearCalcs offers an extensive library of easy-to-use calculators for beams, columns, and footings, designed to make structural calculations simpler and faster.

Choose from a wide range of pre-configured beam and column options, complete with automatic member sizing, so you can quickly reach reliable designs and reduce rework.

Beams

Columns

Foundations

Walls

Loads

Dynamically track your load paths from roof to foundation

No need to copy and paste reactions between calculations! If the top calculator's reactions change, the loads being inherited onto the lower calculator will update automatically. This includes all loads such as dead, live, snow, seismic, and wind.

Submit professional reports for permit review

ClearCalcs is not only easy to use, but also easy to check! All calculations follow an easy to understand traffic light check system, with multiple levels of detail available giving you the choice of printing every step of the calculation and all code and standard references, or simply a compact, one-page print out.
